Food: Taste dips under expectation

The dishes at Ngu Binh manage to disappoint, presenting a parade of mediocrity: from the overcooked, underwhelming, and tasteless meals to the small portions of noodles disappointingly swimming in the large bowls. The freshness of certain dishes is questionable, particularly when stale pork ribs make a humdrum cameo. The range of options on offer is also notably scant.

  • Okay Taste

    Solid, decent, good quality, not outstanding, but not bad overall.

  • Small Portions

    Small portion of noodles for a large bowl disappoints guests.

Vibe: Posh interiors, a breathing space

The ambiance at Ngu Binh is a redeeming factor, offering an escape from the culinary disappointment. The interiors are modern, clean, and beautifully spacious, capable of sprucing up the dining experience and lifting the spirits of the diners amidst the lackluster food servings.

  • Great Aesthetic

    Modern, clean, and beautifully spacious interiors enhance dining experience.

Perks: Slothful service, inconvenient outdoors

While the parking lot never seems to run out of space, the restaurant drops the ball on service and its outdoor offerings. The service is slow even on a less-busy day, leaving customers fuming. Should you choose to sit outside, be prepared to clean the tables by yourself, as prompt service is a distant dream. Handling large groups and gatherings seems to be an area of strength, but what's a family gathering without mouthwatering food?

  • Great for Groups

    Spacious and clean, perfect for large groups and family gatherings.

  • Okay Parking

    Parking lot size adequate; never completely full even on busy days.

  • Bad Service

    Slow service even when restaurant is not busy, frustrating customers.
